Why You Should Never Approach A Yellow Jacket Nest - Instant Attack Mode! Mousetrap Monday

Nice Job and info!!

I dislike these type of wasps, but I thought Yellow Jackets live in the ground. Are these not Paper Wasps? I thought Paper Wasps has some benefits for the environment and kill bad garden pests??

I needed this video today...thank you for showing the entirety of the hive....learned much

I’ve never been stung by anything but there’s a nest under the panel of the wall of my house and I’ve definitely smacked and sprayed them a few times.

Sucks being stung by them!

How fast to these nests grow? When the nests are small or just beginning, there should not be too much danger. I recently knocked down the start of a nest with just one wasp on it. It pays to survey your property.

Why don't you just spray them with some wasp spray? I took out a nest almost that big last week and other times bigger ones - just with some spray / no gear. And for ground nests I just use a bit of Sevin powder at the entrance hole. No digging. That has worked on my property for 20 years now. Only for nests close to house / shop though. I get along fine with yellow jackets in general. They fly in my house when the door is open and are very non-aggressive. I've often carried them back outside on my hand. I have never been stung by a yellow jacket unless it felt attacked - like if I accidentally put my hand down on it or something like that.

I ran over a nest while mowing the lawn and got stung at least 10 times.

You should never approach a yellowjacket nest because they're pissed off. They're ALWAYS pissed off!

cast it into the fire!

They have this great new thing called insecticide.

When youre an avg person wait for night... foam up the entrance heavily.. then put the straw in the top and spray foam the hell out of the inside... dont rip it down!!!!!

I tend my garden often, out of no where I got swarmed one day. I dropped something on the ground directly on top of their ground entrance unknowingly and they went bonkers. Did not feel good. I got them with dawn soap and nose later on.

My chickens go crazy for wasp pupa in a nest. I oblige them every chance I get.

40 years ago , a friend was on tractor with a bushhog cutting briars

No I would n t want to ever do that No going near hornet s nests Bees nests Wasps nests Uh Uh

Ive been killing nests all my life, never gotten stung either.

Had a bunch of these in an underground nest. I parked a running push mower over the hole and let it run until it ran out of gas.

My favorite was the video where you put on the bee suit and encircled the nest with a garbage bag, tied it off, and froze it. It was the most intelligent option because you left a minimal number of yellow jackets behind.
